Pretty

Not over it yet. And then there's the prettiness of Silk.

Last Friday, I went to see the Backstreet Boys live and I ended up meeting Kevin Richardson. Y'all, he is still just so handsome. And Howie is looking really good too.

Whoa, how did you meet some of the guys? That's pretty cool! Kevin was the first celeb I ever admitted to my sisters that I thought was cute.

whatthedeuce, after the concert there was this after party/meet and greet session that I splurged on, and I got to take a picture with Nick, Howie, and Kevin. And after the after party, I and a bunch of other people made the mad dash over to the backstage gate and Kevin was out there talking to people and signing autographs. I ended up being one of the few people with an extra Sharpie, so he got to use it on my paper and some other people's stuff. He even recorded a short video for this other girl's best friend who was in the hospital. I didn't take a picture because my phone was pretty much dead at that point, but it was still amazing.

I've always wanted to attend a meet and greet. That sounds like such a memorable experience!

Wasn't sure where to put this, but saw part of Zoolander again and realized one of Derek's model roommates is Alexander Skarsgard. So young and goofy!

Is this where we talk about People's Sexiest Man Alive, even if we personally think Adam Levine is kind of gross? One interesting factoid - Adam is People's first Jewish SMA.

I buy a copy of the SMA issue every year to send to my friend as an inside joke for her birthday, which is usually during the same week the SMA issue comes out. Of course I read it before I send it out, and check to see what token Asian men were included (this year: Will Yun Lee). This friend just got married this year so I'm planning to paste a photo of her husband's face over Adam's. I'm sure she won't mind, she's more of a Ryan Gosling type of gal.

Lis, I just saw your posts. RPJ is very pretty. I've seen him in Persuasion and David Tennant's Casanova.

I saw Adam was crowned SMA and just rolled my eyes. Dude has always struck me as being very smug so I'm sure he really needed one more lovely ego boost. I used to love M5 back in college, but now Adam just grates on my nerves. I like that he admits he can be a bit of a douchebag though. That gets him a bit of goodwill from me.

I don't get why he got it, but I can name tons that are hotter and have had a better year. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston come immediately to mind (more Hemsworth really), or Henry Cavill and Idris Elba. With Idris Elba it'd be a wall-to-wall article of hot dad jokes. It'd be great!

I'm pretty surprised myself that it wasn't Chris Hemsworth!

Matt Bomer, Good Lord.

His face is unreal, and I actually believe he's a whole different life form because there's no way in hell that he's a flesh and blood human. He's simply too flawless.

True, true. He's perfect.

I needed this in my life.

Jennifer Lawrence facepalming Emma Watson. The GIFs will flow now.

It has been a week, and still...
That whole *Mannschaft*! Look up Mats Hummels and Jerôme Boateng and Erik Durm and Miro Klose and Lukas Podolski and Marco Reus and the Bender twins and...

(And the HoYay!!)

Dave Franco has the most adorable smile. Also he's the un-crazy Franco at this point, which is why I chose him as my weekly Mancrush Monday subject on Instagram. Why must he be so adorable?

Manuel Neuer and Christoph Kramer (warning: music)  -it always takes me a long time to get over these things... Look at those abs, though!

I have two episodes of Daredevil left and I am despairing over not seeing Charlie Cox beating people up and bleeding very attractively for like, another year. Send help.

I realize this forum is losing steam, but I simply had to share. While perusing a blog totally unrelated to celebs, I was delighted to find that the blogger randomly had pics of red-carpeting James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff all over the place. I used to think I didn't like James bearded, but I have changed. my. mind. Also, the new streak of gray in his hair is making me feel fluttery.

On a related note, somehow Gemma Arterton looked amazing rather than trashy in this dress at the Olivier Awards. Superpower?

Caitlyn Jenner is gorgeous.

Word. Such a boss way to debut as herself. Totally stunning.

I'm so glad she knows gets to express herself the way she's always wanted to and that people I know seem to be reacting so positively to her transformation and public debut. I hope this helps a lot of transgendered people out there feel less isolated or fearful of what I'm sure is often (if not always) a very lonely and tumultuous experience that not many folks can relate to or want to understand/empathize with. Four for you, Caitlyn Coco! You go, Caitlyn Coco!

Yes, quite a triumph of plastic surgery, costuming, makeup and photoshop.

Yeah, whatever. Although it's nice for the transgender community to get some normalizing press, but that family is a freaking trainwreck of publicity whores, so I can't feel anything but cynical and grossed out by this whole media circus. I wonder if the transgender community is that pleased about it either? No idea.
